I am an attorney representing investors in securities arbitration. I ask that the SEC reject the NASD's request for Accelerated Approval of Rule Filing SR-NASD-2003-158, and that the SEC publish the NASD's proposal for public comment. This Rule Filing includes major changes to the NASD Arbitration Code, which will profoundly affect investors. It is vital that the public have the opportunity to comment on these proposed changes, thus, the NASD's request for accelerated approval should be rejected. Thank you for your consideration.
